that lan party looks like its all white guys, does the playerbase of factorio really look like this? are there so few POC or women?

Its in eastern europe not muerica.

The stark contrast between the imposing designer desktops and the absolute spaghetti cable management hidden below somehow catches the essence of Factorio pretty well.

Kind of a follow up to a known bug https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1693905362265667762/27787ED9B7FB36CBA0C854F8017D7A7F2EAB53B9/ I managed to mix Fluid systems by rotating the Storage tank into the acid pipe and now it prevents me from reconnecting by building water pipes like in the image

Air resistance hmm

But can we reverse and load a wagon from 2 compressed blue belts without slowdown?

Importing does not work with these strings, says something about Unknown version ("H"). Can you update the strings?

Hello I have a question about how this will work:

What if someone places a wall right in front of where he can see you walk
will it look like you run through the wall to the other person
or will you be teleported back to where the wall should have stopped you ?

Selling stuff in space is fine but what are you going to buy if you reached endgame with the best power armor and all research.

without any new items that rely on it its going to be pointless

I placed a setup that throws iron plates from one furnace directly into another one to burn steel, I did that before I researched steel processing. now that its researched the inserters don't automatically start putting the plates into the furnaces, they just idle until I refresh them by rotating or...

I also wonder why the flamethrower does not Ignite plants and cause wild fires.
its also the least useful weapon in the game, it really needs some love

Tanks also work of course

Hello there

So I like to use the gates as a garage door for my Cars but the problem is that the gates react too late if the car isn't driving at around walking speed.
So I usually end up ramming the just opened gates.

Game hangs and slows down if the Internet connection is suffering (which I prefer over teleporting players like in other multiplayer games)

No such problems here, though it crashed once with message "car ended up in unreasonable position" after I rammed a gate while the car was on a red conveyor

Hello there so loading times: right after generating a new world it doesn't take long for anyone to connect and sync up but after having built a simple base it raises the loading time significantly (up to 3 minutes last time) I hope it can be improved because I can imagine getting up to 10 minutes o...

Hello there.
In multiplayer only the host of a new world receives starter equipment (the furnace, burner drill and some iron).
So joining players don't have iron for a pickaxe which slows them down quite a bit.

good evening

Good to hear how successful factorio is turning out.
edit: nvm

Cant I just have a Land cruiser tank like the "Ratte"

but seriously, If I would be a tank Engineer in Factorio I would make it agile, put spikes on it and give it a rapid fire 20mm gun with A flamethrower as a secondary weapon
